What You’ll Love…
The Property – Boutique luxury in the midst of the rainforest
Nestled between the Daintree Rainforest – believed to be around 156 million years old – and the Great Barrier Reef you’ll find Mist at Cape Tribulation, Queensland’s luxurious new boutique property. Unwind and reconnect with nature among the lush greenery and the peaceful on-site creek, supplied all year round with fresh water from the majestic Mount Sorrow.
Two-person hammocks dot the property’s grounds, changing location depending on the weather – finding them is part of the fun as you wander amidst some of the world’s rarest palm trees.
Make time to stop in the small orchard, where, when in season, you are free to pick and try the tropical fruits.
Mist at Cape Tribulation is all about disconnecting from everyday life and immersing yourself in the beauty of nature, so take this time for a complete digital detox. With the environment always at the forefront, the property relies solely on solar power and encourages minimal power usage in an effort to embrace an eco-sustainable lifestyle in the rainforest.
The Apartment – Your very own, self-contained luxury pavilion
Relax in a Luxury Pavillion, your tranquil oasis in the heart of the rainforest. Named after majestic palms on the property - Magnifica, Pandanus and Royal - each Pavillion features a spacious king-size bed with Belgian Flax linen and pillow menu, kitchenette, dining area, three-seater sofa, luxury bathroom and an outdoor deck with expansive rainforest views. Wake up to the sounds of nature and a cup of coffee from the machine in your room, with the cupboards also equipped with crockery and stocked with basic supplies of condiments, cereal, tea, milk, salt and pepper, should you wish to self-cater.
Slip on the welcome thongs you’ll find on your doorstep and relax with a drink, with a bottle of French champagne and imported beers waiting for you on arrival.
Luxuriate in the knowledge that a leisurely late noon checkout is guaranteed, allowing you to take in every precious moment of your escape.
Pets Welcome: Mist at Cape Tribulation is pet friendly, offering pet bowls and the freedom to bring along your furry friend for long walks on the beach.
The Food – Complimentary breakfast hamper and gourmet cheese platter
Enjoy a leisurely start to your morning courtesy of a fully-stocked breakfast hamper included in your stay. Inside you’ll find cereal, bread, jams and fresh fruit, setting you up for the day ahead.
You’ll also be treated to a complimentary gourmet platter of cheeses and pate for you to enjoy on your private balcony.
The kitchenette has all the equipment you need to self-cater during your stay, but should you wish to dine out, you’ll find a selection of great restaurants within walking distance.
Whet restaurant is a cosy spot offering meat, fish and vegetarian dishes, while Turtle Rock Café is a relaxed destination for fresh, wholesome food, including heathy takes on sandwiches, burgers, cakes and muffins. You’re also just 800m from Cassowary Café, a casual eatery open daily for buffet breakfast and seasonally for dinner.
At an extra cost, the property is more than happy to assist with arranging a romantic dinner under the stars. Enjoy the unique experience of dining under the rainforest canopy, where the rainforest comes alive under the milky way. Either cook the meal yourself or let Mist at Cape Tribulation liaise with local restaurants to cater the experience (weather dependant, bookings essential).
The Flexibility – No blackout dates or seasonal surcharges
Travel with peace of mind and no restrictions thanks to a full calendar of dates to choose from. There are no seasonal surcharges, meaning the price of your escape stays the same, whenever you decide to travel.
See & Do – Let the natural beauty of Queensland take your breath away
A stay in Cape Tribulation is all about making the most of the nature on your doorstep. Explore Daintree National Park, relax on the beach or arrange a guided nature walk through the rainforest. For the adventurous there are zipline and aerial experiences available, while a boat tour will take you closer to the splendor of the Great Barrier Reef.
The Nature – Spot rare birds and marvel at a vast array of exotic plants
Settling on the deck of an evening you will hear the calls of the Lesser Sooty Owl, a sound reminiscent of fireworks and unique to this part of Australia. Victoria's Rifle birds are seen on the property frequently, with their amazing mating dance a truly rare and beautiful sight to behold.
The pavilions have their resident sunbirds, tiny yellow birds common to the area. Watch them build their decoy nest, then zip to the one that holds their babies, cleverly protecting their young from predators.
Keep an eye out for the Cassowary and its chicks, another bird often spotted on the property.
Enjoy the wide variety of natural foliage surrounding the site, with the orchard home to exotic fruits including mangos, purple mangosteen and durian.
The palms adorning the property are so rare, their seeds have been supplied to Cairns Botanical Gardens to help propagate the species. Walk among magnificent trees as tall as 150ft, then return to your balcony and watch the fireflies play at night.
